That's Entertainment Lyrics
[00:13.79] A police car and a screaming siren
[00:17.01] A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
[00:20.53] A baby wailing and stray dog howling
[00:23.57] The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking
[00:26.55] That's entertainment
[00:30.12] That's entertainment
[00:33.13]
[00:37.12] A smash of glass and a rumble of boots
[00:40.58] An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
[00:44.19] Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
[00:47.10] Lights going out and a kick in the balls
[00:50.13] I say, that's entertainment
[00:54.57] That's entertainment
[00:58.09]
[01:04.06] Days of speed and slow time Mondays
[01:07.59] Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
[01:10.82] Watching the news and not eating your tea
[01:13.88] A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls
[01:17.08] I say that's entertainment
[01:20.26] That's entertainment
[01:27.73] Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
[01:30.73] Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
[01:34.04] An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
[01:37.17] Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays
[01:40.55] That's entertainment
[01:43.89] That's entertainment
[01:47.08]
[02:04.68] Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
[02:07.83] Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
[02:11.46] A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
[02:14.90] Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
[02:17.97] That's entertainment
[02:22.19] That's entertainment
[02:28.12] Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
[02:31.68] Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
[02:34.70] Getting a cab and travelling on buses
[02:38.35] Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
[02:41.15] I say that's entertainment
[02:45.36] That's entertainment
[02:50.18]
[00:17.01] A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
[00:20.53] A baby wailing and stray dog howling
[00:23.57] The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking
[00:26.55] That's entertainment
[00:30.12] That's entertainment
[00:33.13]
